beginning of unending exhibition of frustration and grounded hatred towards
the government of Change. While this is clearly understood given the pathetic
scenario the sympathisers of formal President Jonathan found themselves, it
is pertinent they stop crying more than the beriefed. After all, Jonathan had
long moved on with his life, even though public shame is still beckoning on the
formal first lady his precious wife.
It is no news that the waves of activism in Nigerian since the emergence of
PMB is appalling and nothing he would do to please them and to say the
electioneering is over with the big lost gasping and trashing in self-inflicted
pain. Whilst, PMB does not belong to anybody or interest rather the President
and Commander-In- Chief of Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria who
swore to protect Nigerians.
This is unfair to a man who only spent 6 months on the throne. Surprisingly,
Nigerians under the last government never witnessed this humongous
activism in the waves of impunity and unending corruption, rather mute and a
pat on the back for money well- looted.
How clean and honest can one get? When he said in his maiden speech "I
belong to no body and I belong to every body." Yet they are restless with
reckless questions ranging from preposterous to lugubrious. Oh baba go-
slow- and steady is yet to name his advisers! but behold when he eventually
does the same embittered individuals accused him of lopsided appointments
on the premise of pursuing Northern Agenda, may be he should have named
Orubebe as chief of defence staff or Deziani Alison Madueke as first lady
federal republic of Nigeria.
Oh the delay in appointing his ministers potent danger for Nigerians as there
is no economic direction! yet there is unimaginable improvement of electricity
supply across board, as well as enough petroleum products in all our filling
stations in whatever region in Nigeria.
Oh he should not have appointed himself as Minister of Petroleum where he
ought to have assigned himself Defence potfolio as the questions rages on.
For God sake! how have these irrelevant questions put food on our table? Or
changed the good intention of Mr. President? We all have roles to play in order
to bring about the needed change through constructive criticism.
What an irony? now that the ministerial lists have been unveiled, what did we
get? Oh his Right Honourable Rotimi Amaechi should not be on the list because
in their thinking he is corrupt based on media trial orchestrated by Wike and
co. Limited.
It is a know fact that since the inception of our democratic rule in Nigeria, no
single individual is so patriotic and nationalistic-outlook than his Excellency,
Right Honourable Rotimi Amaechi. His doggedness, charismatic persona and
sterling ever- intimidating records rates him the greatest Nationalist of all
time. Whereas, we are bold to say that not even Sir Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa
Balewa, Obafemi Awolowo to mention these prominent, were Nationalistic in
their true sense, compared to mountain everest feet achieved by Rotimi
Amaechi in recent time. This is a man who care less of promoting politics of
regionalism other than the unity of this great nation.
Without mincing words, His Excellency Right Honourable Rotimi Amaechi is the
most detribelised Nigerian, the Tinubu and the Nelson Mandela of Southern
Nigeria. He is indeed a classic example of zero to hero, grass to grace
politician ever to be alive on African continent, a rock of
intellectual heritage
with which Nigerian youths dwell except those who have refused to belong to
his school of thought.
Of course, no man is without sins but that of Rotimi Amaechi is obvious for not
supporting "Corruption is not stealing or stealing is not corruption
government", and for this single reason he is regarded as the political Judas
Iscariot that must be sacrificed on the alter of mediocrity, yet he
refused to be
intimidated by the power that be into accepting a GEJMATICS formula of 16
greater than 19, not to talk of constant harrassment in the hands of Joseph
Mbu and Marilyn ogar respectively.
Let it be on record that His Excellency Right Honourable Rotimi Amaechi scale
through the Ministerial screening as no amount of arm-twist, executive
intimidation, overnight imaginary corrupt- charges, paid protest and heaven
and earth public condemnation would stop his emergence, as we would stop at
nothing to barricade National Assembly, if need be followed the golden legacy
of jumping through the fence should unimaginable happened.
It is a must Rotimi Amaechi becomes a Minister, this is our stand and the
better the South/ South accept him as one of their own as well as their true
hero, the better for their well-being, as the history of Nigeria's emancipation
from the shackle of corrupt-government would be incomplete without his Right
Honourable.
Some Nigerians hate reality despite six months of his ascendancy, PMB never
told anyone he was looking for saints or angels to constitute his cabinet rather
a necessity to clean-up the mess left-over by the past administration, but of
course the PDP in her usual rhetoric succeeded in the gullibility of Nigerians
who would stop at nothing to dwell on cheap blackmail and propagandism. It
would be unthinkable for anyone to read the mind of PMB, yet PDP stewards in
their intellectual-shortfall taught the best they can do is to deploy the fifth
columnist in order to tarnish the image of Fashola, Amaechi and the likes,
except they are still leaving in the limbo of election defeat, it is
appropriate for
PMB to reward his loyalists. Ironically, those crying woooooe to high-heaven
in the name of protest, social media balbadash never voted for Change in the
first place, rather they made a caricature of entire episodes by foolishly
investing in "stealing is not corruption government".
The truth of the matter is that frustration on account of election defeat is
responsible for the media hullabaloo, and until we send them to lagoon in the
wisdom of Oba of Lagos Rilwan Akiolu, this time not to perish but to have a
salty bath, they shall continue to languise in intellectual -sodomy amid joy and
hope that PMB brings Nigerians.
At least for the first time we are doing things differently, if PMB should
succumbed to blackmail, intimidation and propaganda, I do not think we are
where we are at present but a General would always remain a General no
matter whose ox is gored, as trusting his judgement is the least of our
emotional investment.
Long live PMB!
Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Long live Northern Youths Intellectual-Advocacy Forum (NYIF)
